Paul Lamere, director of developer platform The Echo Nest, created a map that shows the most distinctive top-100 artists for each state based on listener preferences. The Echo Nest is a music intelligence company that collects data on over 35 million songs by 2.7 million artists to help services like Rdio, Spotify and MTV find the perfect music for their listeners, according to its website.

By breaking down listener preferences by region, Lamere found the most distinctive popular artist for a state that hasn't already been selected for a more populous state, he said.
